Rearranging my living room

My living room's furnitures have just been rearranged yesterday. here is some photos of it.

Badminton and I (3)

Khe Wei/ Hui Lin won the gold medal in Sukma while Julia defeated Lydia in woman single’s final. These are 4 new hopes for Malaysia in Uber Cup 2010. Among all the youngsters, I support Khe Wei the most, I hope he can be world top double player. However, she is more expert in mix double. Khe Wei will be partner with Sook Chin in Singapore and Indonesia’s opened. I hope they can enter quarter final.

In the coming Singapore open, our country’s Lee Chong Wei has a great chance to win the title due to the absence of Lin Dan. Lin Dan’s performance has dropped a little bit, I hope Chong Wei can win in Singapore, Indonesia and of course in Olympic.

Lee Wan Wah and Chong Tan Fook probably will be joining the Olympic for the last time, I wish them all the best, hope that they will win medal in double.

Badminton and I (2)

After I back from UUM, I play badminton always. I really love it very much!

I never played for a period of time, my badminton’s skill dropped a lot. I failed to make any smash now. My movement is getting weaker. It’s lucky that my strength, playing in front of net, isn’t dropping very much.

I was trying to fix my problem in this 2 weeks time, I have successfully fixed some, but there are still plenty of weaknesses for me to fix. However, I have learnt lot of things in these 2 weeks. The next time I am going to play is next Monday. I am resting now due to little injury. But I think I will able to fully recover it by Monday. I can’t wait the time to come. I have 3 more weeks of holiday. I hope I can play more. And I hope I can reach the level I hope to. I am not hoping I would reach a high level that can be any representative; I just hope I can play better than last time.

However, something worries me, could I able to afford the cost of badminton?

Shuttlecock – RM2.50/ piece

Rental of court – RM5/hour (weekday before 5p.m.), RM6 (weekday after 5p.m./Saturday), RM9 (Sunday, public holiday)

For every 2 hours I played, the total expenses are around RM20. That’s lot!

I am currently in cutting my expense, but the badminton is increasing my expense. But, it’s ok, badminton is now my only hobby, it worth. I am sorry to badminton of playing very few in these 2 years. But, I will continue playing more in these following days.

~Happy always with badminton~

Badminton and I (1)

The last week in UUM is the week that the Thomas and Uber cup started. I have forgotten have I post regarding this in my blog before or not. Whether I have or I haven’t, I will write about badminton today.

I found that badminton is really the sport I love. I support Malaysia badminton team. For this year, I support Malaysia Uber team than Thomas team. I watched badminton since I am standard 2 I guess and I started playing it when I was standard 3. Since the first time I support Malaysia Uber team in year 2000, this year, Malaysa Uber team is the best team even for Malaysia. Malaysia is weak in women’s badminton, but they have been improving year by year. Malaysia number 1 woman player, Wong Mew Choo has really brought a hope to all Malaysians. Besides, Malaysia woman team has several players who are still young and has a high potential, such as Julia, Lydia, Khe Wei and Hui Lin.

I failed to watch any matches of Malaysia Uber team. I was trapped in UUM for examination. All the TVs in my hostel were unplugged. I had no chance to watch it. I rush back once I finished my examination. In the journey, I asked my friends to update the score for me. 10 minutes before I reached my home, I was informed that Malaysia second double had lost. Malaysia’s journey in Uber Cup 2008 ended. I was so sad.

I put a high hope in Thomas and Uber cup 2010. I plan to go support Malaysia. I wish I can make it!

I am getting worse.....

I played badminton yesterday. I played badly; it was totally out of my satisfaction. It’s really obvious that my badminton skill is dropping. Back to 2 years ago, or even 5 years ago. My performance was quite consistent. But my performance now is really inconsistent. I might perform very well in the today and perform terribly in the second day. Or, I might perform very great in beginning but end up with lousy playing or vice versa.

After I woke up this morning, I was thinking for a period of time. Not only my badminton skill is dropping, it seemed to be most of my thing is dropping. I was a person good in controlling emotion in the past, I can stay positive all the time. But now, what has happened to me? I stay negative most of the time. I get angry, disappointed and sad easily. In the past, I always tell my friend to do things rationally. Yes, doing thing rationally, am I doing thing rationally now? I guess most are emotionally.

Talk about my investment, I started my first stock on March last year. Within three months time I had have 20% of return. My portfolio grew in a way better than what I have expected. After I got into UUM, something happened to me, it leaded me to irrationally decision. Ended up, what have happened? I am currently had a loss of RM1600! RM1600! For an adult investor, it will be only a small number, but for me, that’s totally a huge number! I have no idea how to bounce back.

Fast reaction of mind was one of my strength in the past. When I at something, I can think it quickly. Now, is that still strength of mine? I spent 1 week time to decide a small matter! It’s such like spending 1 hour time to think whether to bed on 10p.m. or 10.10p.m.

I have completely sunk! When I started to write blog, I actually hoped to express all my feeling from here. But my mind is completely mess! I sometime don’t know what am I thinking. I sometimes failed to control it.

I am not hoping much now, I just how the previous LuPorTi will be back.
